yeah you are 100% right there mate . i mean if they saying its defleating the fish stocks they should pull back on commercial fishing only let one boat out of a port or something i dont think a couple of anglers on the shore line is even affecting the fish stocks really do you, its all complete bol***ks trying to get money out of us for fishing. it gets me mad this government i worked in the army for 5 years and all they do is f**k you over take your money spit you out. I WILL NEVER PAY A ROD LICENSE FOR THE SEA NEVER!

hello everyone. i am just interested in peoples views on the sea angling license, and if they think its a good idea. one of my personal views is that there should be no license for sea angling because the matter of fact is if they want to bring in a sea license they should bring licenses in for people swimming in the sea or sailing or sitting on the beach just because we want to catch a few fish for a couple of hours a week they should be made to take pay for a license to swim or sun bath or take wind sufing boats out, i think the same should apply for the course angler why should they be made to pay for a license aswell, i personally think thats its the goverment trying to con more money out of people doing something they enjoy! but one aspect i think should be talked about is that every angler should have NFSA (national federation of sea anglers) insurance i think its a good idea because of the damage some people cause when fishing, mainley useless anglers but hey they doing what they enjoy and they have to cough up the money for thier accident when people simply cant afford it, i pay £25 a year for my NFSA and i am covered up to £5 million worth of damage. i think thats a sencible idea but its each to thier own aint it. any comments all welcome thank you. with regards mike

a diawa 13 foot beachcaster and an abu 6500ct mag any good

yeah i understand that but this was a really poor effort for a reel it was only a fairly cheap reel we got the rod with it and the rod' well i can fart on the thing and it knocks as if its got a great white shark taking the bait ha.' its a `14" beach rod but its not that expensive its there first rod so we cant complain. i use a daiwa st13m beach rod with a abu 6500ct mag cracking set up. i dont think will be buying the fladen lower tackle range again. cheers pal tight lines

hi please dont laugh at this question but would i be able to use my sea rod and reel for carp fishing and pike fishing in lakes and rivers or would that be pointless i have never fished for any course carp fish before but want to get into it cant afford to buy new tackle as the wife has just fell pregnant with our first and we SKINT hahaha cheers fellas

hi billy the fladen tackle in my oppinion is pretty poor. i bought my kid brother a fladen reel and it broke and the arm snapped on it on our second session i dont know about the rods but if its anything like the reel avoid it its not worth the money and frustration and time. tight lines
